How to Choose the Best Static Treatment Table for Your Practice
Especially designed with practitioners and their patients firmly in mind, static treatment tables help various healthcare professionals to more fully meet the diverse needs of their patients. Providing a comfortable, secure and steady surface, these multifunctional tables make it easier for doctors and therapists to perform an unlimited variety of the therapies and treatments individualized to the patient. 

While static treatment tables come in a variety of heights, widths and lengths, most of them measure about 18 inches to 22 inches in height, about 24 inches in width and about 72 inches in length. Weight capacities can range from 300 pounds to 900 pounds, depending on the particular model. Constructed of either a sturdy wood material or a powder-coated steel frame, static treatment tables are remarkably strong, durable and stable, with no casters or wheels that could potentially and unintentionally move the table.

Perfect for permanent locations, several static treatment table styles also fold down for space-saving requirements when they are not actively in use. Other options to reduce space include models that incorporate storage compartments into the table design. This allows the facility or practitioner to store frequently used materials in the included drawers and/or cabinets, providing convenient, additional storage in patient exam rooms where space is typically quite limited.

Several static treatment table designs also feature leg and head rest sections that can either be removed or folded down, creating more precious space when not in use. These sections can additionally be adjusted for various patients' needs and for improved access for more specific therapies. Most of the static treatment tables available are covered with some kind of comfortable, tear-resistant upholstered padding, sometimes highlighting an antimicrobial vinyl that helps cut the risk of spreading infection and disease. Special accessories and options include table paper, a paper dispenser and a paper cutter, special pillows and bolsters, and more eco-friendly construction designs. Most tables come in a variety of color choices that will complement any clinic or office décor beautifully, as well.
